Red Violet- pure color

Pigment Number PV 19.  Perfect for older traditional techniques that required PR 83 (Alizarin Crimson).  If you like Alizarin Crimson more to the violet side, try adding a little PB 29 Ultramarine Blue, add PR 9 Naphthol Red Light to go more red.  PV 19 Red Violet  is a very reliable and will surprise you how many different colors you can obtain from it!  PV 19 works extremely well with Pine Green to create beautiful earth tones.

 

Hansa Yellow- pure color

Pigment Number PY 74.  An Arylide pigment.  This is a nice mixing yellow with good strength.  This is a bright yellow that can be used in light bright areas of your painting, or mixed with Phthalo Blue to create bright greens.  This pigment is warmer than some other bright yellows.  PY 74 will work as a replacement for some of the Cadmium Yellows PY 37 and PY 35 in some paintings. 

 

 

Ultramarine Blue- pure color

Pigment Number PB 29.  This is the original pigment of Lapis Lazuli, which made it extremely expensive. We chose to use PB 29 because it is safe, healthy, and recommended for mixing especially for the violets.  The pigment is more expensive but we bring it to you in a pure form for color mixing.   If you put the color found in this line out transparently, you will see a full bodied, pure and bright color.  A true test for a fine pigment.

 

Phthalo Blue- pure color

Pigment Number PB 15.3  This is an old building block blue.  This pigment can tend to go a little green when a earth color is added and that is very desirable in many older European and Scandinavian techniques.  PB 15.3 mixes very well with PB 29 to make various blues for your palette.  PB15.3 mixes well with all Arylide Yellows (Hansa Yellow)  to make beautiful greens.

Pine Green- mixed color

Another mixed color for today’s painting.  Pine Green is warmer and contains more yellow green than a Teal Green.  Good choice when warm greens are needed, especially when using lots of yellow.   Makes beautiful Teals when mixed with Phthalo Blue.  To keep this color a little more toned, we mixed it from blue + yellow + toned yellow.

 

Naphthol Red Light- pure color

Pigment Number is PR 9.  PR 9 is a strong and bright red/orange. Many artists prefer to use this as a red in there paintings, especially when the painting will be warm.  This pigment is much warmer than PR 170, Naphthol Red.  Pr 9 will make beautiful oranges and red/oranges and mixes extremely well with Red Violet to make bright reds.

 

Yellow Oxide- pure color

Pigment Number PY 42.  This is a very old and traditional pigment.  Most companies will make a PY 42 Yellow Oxide or PY 43 Yellow Ochre.  This pigment is available transparent and opaque however it is traditionally used opaque so that is how we are presenting it to you.  PY 42 is a good medium toned yellow.  PY 42 is excellent for color mixing when you don’t desire bright colors.  Many traditional techniques such as Rosemaling use the PY 42 as a toner.  This is a good basic yellow for most of your color needs. 

Titanium White- pure color

Pigment Number  PW 6.   Here is your pure white.  Whites can come in many forms however be extremely careful.  Most contain deadly amounts of lead.  PW 6 is titanium White and is the strongest of the whites. Since this white is neutral and very strong it has the tendency to cool and dull a color when added.  Yes, cool and dull.  White contains all color and is therefore considered a toner.   Great powerful mixer this color is essential for the limited palette.

 

 

Carbon Black- pure color

Pigment Number PBk 7.  Blacks have a great history to them.  There are many different versions.  One black was made by burning ivory in large iron pots to make, Ivory Black.  One black was made by collecting the soot from oil burning lamps to make, Lamp Black. 

 Today we used a darker more neutral black called Carbon Black.  This is PBk 7.  PBK 7 is an excellent, neutral, ASTM 1 pigment that can be used in many different ways with the pure pigments in the line. 

 

Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Raw Sienna- Pure colors

Pigment Number PBr 7.  These colors are the earth colors and form the basis for the Heritage line.   Earths all have the same roots which are Natural Iron Oxides.  Some like Raw Umber also contain manganese.  There are many different versions used by paint companies today, so many in fact that the colors differ quite a lot between companies.  When you mix yellow and violet you will get a toned color that belongs in the center of the wheel.  The duller the mix, the closer to the center of the wheel.  This is where the Natural Oxides belong.   For the Heritage line we are using older classical versions of the colors.  These Natural Oxides are extremely important for adding color harmony to your palette.  Our Raw Sienna tends to be a little more clear than other companies versions.  This makes it an extremely valuable color mixer.  You can always "dirty" a color but you can't make it brighter.
